Noida authority’s proposed 5.5 km elevated road over the Shahdara drain to decongest traffic on Delhi-Noida Link road has been approved and the work on this project will start within a month. The elevated road from Chilla regulator in East Delhi’s Mayur Vihar Phase 1 to Mahamaya Flyover on Noida-Greater Noida Expressway is expected to provide seamless connectivity to thousands who daily battle congestion on the Delhi-Noida Link road. The irrigation and flood control department of the Delhi government, on December 4, 2018 had approved the elevated road. The Unified Traffic and Transportation Infrastructure (Planning & Engineering) Centre (UTTIPEC), the authority to approve all transport infrastructure projects in Delhi, gave its nod on Friday.
